    My honest opinion
    I want to give my honest opinion on this movie. I gave it 10 stars because not only was it entertaining, but it was something most people would never think of. I love social experiment films, and this one really stands out. I was hoping to see better reviews. It's very informative, too. I learned many things I didn't know. The man who wrote and directed this film is incredible and I was so pleased. I recommend this film to those who are available to watch it...you won't regret it!
